Hi there.

First of all, congratulations on a great product. I have been using the program for around 6 months, and time after time your program is able to find malware/trojans that other software cannot find.

I have had a quick look around but I cannot find any detailed information on the paid for protection mode.

After finding a trojan today, probably weeks too late after relying solely on AVG as my runtime protection, I have purchased the full version of your software. I wish I had gotten onto the habbit of running your software each week.

However I would like to know exactly how much protection it will offer, now that it is constantly running?

Can I expect it to offer runtime protection? i.e. will it check each file that happens to be downloaded to my PC when browsing the internet?

I have used a number of other anti-virus programs and it seems that none are able to spot everything (so called Giants of the industry). I think I will end up relying more and more on my linux partition when signing into sensitive websites.

Hopefully Windows 7 will be a giant leap forward for M$.

Hello!

The resident protection module offers realtime protection against all malware presently known to our software. It also enables automatic scanning and automatic update downloads; all listed under the Scheduler which is available under the Protection tab.

As files are opened for access either by you or another application, our resident protection module has a look at the file first, and if it's known to be malware it will be stopped from executing or otherwise opening the file.
